The poll

Hey guys! Jeff and I are having a debate. He wants to go camping this summer, and we will have a new baby. I think we would be crazy to take a new baby camping. He thinks it would be fine. We are curious to see what you guys think. Can you respond to our poll? Thanks!

Added some life to the blog

It took a long while to figure anything out on this thing but i think i finally figured out how to "spice" it up a bit. Still don't know how to add group members or how to set that up. Please someone shed some light on this subject for us.

Well just got dont watching the Jazz game! Wow! What a game! Not really too much has been going on in our lives. Chels is getting so gorgeous as the days go by! I can't help but just look at her and be thankful that she is my wife! She is so pretty being prego! Ha!

Still working for my dad doing tile and still got the hopes of goging to school in the near future. Don't have any idea what to go into. But still planning on going.

Our calling in church has to be the absolute best calling that you can possibly have. We are teaching the 6-7 year olds. Wow! Our class is so awesome! They are the best. The Lord has blessed us so much from doing this calling, with helping us become better parents....hopefully. :)

Well i think I'll go to bed but I will try to do my best and write on this more often but I say that a lot, we shall see what happens. Ha!

Some random thoughts

First of all, I am very excited to say that our baby now weighs 3 pounds and 6 ounces. Can you believe that! I think she is going to be so big when she is born. (I had to have another ultrasound today). I only have 9 weeks left woohoo!

Ok, so what I really wanted to say was I read this article in the Ensign today, and it really hit home for me. It is called "Treasure of Eternal Value" by President Monson. What got me the most was the section on living in the present. "You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you've collected a lot of empty yesterdays." Let's be honest, who doesn't look forward to today being over for some reason. I know I am terrible about that. But we need to fill up our todays with meaningful activities and enjoy the here and now because we won't get it back. I just keep thinking about how ready I am to have this baby out, then I get excited about her growing. That's when I have to stop myself because I look at people in our age group and think...I don't know if I can handle being a parent and having to let my baby go someday. So I hope we can all slow down a little.
I also enjoyed the next section of the article, do not delay! I wanted to share the poem in it.
Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end;
Yet days go by, and weeks rush on,
And before we know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friend's face,
For Life is a swift and terrible race...
But tomorrow comes--and tomorrow goes,
And the distance between us grows and grows.

Around the corner!--yet miles away...
"Here's the telegram, sir..."
"Jim died today."
And that's what we get, and deserve in the end:
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Isn't that poem just so powerful. I just sit in awe sometimes at how fast life moves. I keep waiting anxiously for each day to be over because I am anxious to be done with something or for something tomorrow holds, but then I look back and, really, years have gone by. It's just amazing to me. Let's all slow down a little and make each day really count for something!
